I met a fellow during a business encounter. We will be going for coffee, but he wanted me to watch this "movie" first so that we could discuss it. It's messing with my head.

Haven't watched the movie clip, but I scanned the website very very briefly. Looks questionable to me....
I guess I would run from anyone I just met, who wants me to watch a movie first, to set up discussion, for when we have coffee.
That's not a friendship, or even a business relationship. That's just pushing an agenda, and if it's going to mess with my head, I don't need it.
I don't let people mess with my head that don't already have some credibility with me.
Also...(smiling)...I really try to protect myself from head-messing when I'm exhausted!
I think everyone has an agenda, whether they admit it or not and whether it's conscious or not. That doesn't necessarily mean it's negative or positive.
I think this person likes to see people react. I think he likes that little bit of drama and likes to have psychological power. I'm not worried about that, though.
Sometimes my curiosity is a good thing and sometimes it's not - mostly it's productive, though. Luckily for me I have smart friends and resources where I can go for another view on something. I learned a long time ago that one of the best ways to grow is to challenge my own thinking (or allow it to be challenged). Then when I pose a theory or argument I can be confident that I know enough to be saying anything at all.
Yes.. head messing during exhaustion should probably be avoided. It's still easier to deal with than the guy who repeatedly sends me emails designed to manipulate a response and, when he doesn't get a response, goes to my work blog and leaves personal comments (which I won't publish).
Going to meet that Zeitgeist guy today, then off to a business grand opening (gonna network and give out cards) and then maybe to the hardware store for new locks 'cause that tenant still isn't outta here... Gotta figure out a way to get rid of her stuff, too. I need to rent that room.
Not looking forward to the inevitable confrontation.
"I think this person likes to see people react. I think he likes that little bit of drama and likes to have psychological power."
You're probably right. I wouldn't be worried about it either, but it would tick me off royally, and poor Spike would have to listen to the ranting!
And "ugh" to inevitable confrontations.
...smiling...
If this person was someone who was posing as my friend, I would be royally ticked, too. If he played head games and claimed it was done because of "love", I would be furious. If I cared about what he thought of me or if he was in a position to actually cause me harm, I would be ticked. If he'd first worked to gain my trust and then pulled this, I'd be upset.
Even though no harm has been done, he has given me enough behavioural information for me to know not to let him get too close to me.
P, I could picture you telling Spike about something like that. :) And I could picture him listening and agreeing with you.
Praying for God's wisdom for you.
And for the tenant situation. I don't envy you that one!
Pray for a huge lottery win!
.... oh... but I'd have to actually buy a ticket, then, huh....
... and compete with a whole lot of other people who are praying for the big win.
Never mind.
hehe
